Esparza vs Salazar - Photos by Melina Pizano - 05/06/17

May 07, 2017

Saturday I photographed the flyweight undercard Samantha Salazar versus Olympian Marlen Esparza. Esparza won by unanimous decision after boxing four 3-minute rounds (instead of the standard 2-minute rounds for professional women boxers.) Later that night I photographed the post-fight press conference of Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. After defeating Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision, Canelo announced his next opponent would be Gennady "GGG" Golovkin. Oscar De La Hoya confirmed the match is set for September 16.

A big thank you to Ed Mullholland of HBO for the opportunity.
